Suggestion to add an alternate OSI-recognized license scheme

Open ovaillancourt opened this issue 7 years ago • 7 comments

Hi!

Our company is currently performing a legal audit of our engineering / technology department and chai-as-promised was flagged as problematic open source dependency due to the WTFPL license.

I was wondering if you might consider adding an alternate license scheme that has been recognized by the OSI board, similar to what was done with https://github.com/domenic/path-is-inside.

I'd gladly submit a PR to spare you the trouble if you're open to the change.

Thanks for your time and keep up the great work!

@domenic I've created a new PR to update the license to MIT : #258

@domenic From a different company but same situation and this would help us a lot. Would you be able to take a look at the PR please? If you prefer a different license, I can submit a new PR.

@domenic I'm at a different company as well and I'm in the same situation. Would it be possible to use an FSF-approved, similarly lax license, like X11?

Same for me. Any news @domenic ?

path-is-inside was licensed in the same way (dual MIT & WTFPL) @ https://github.com/domenic/path-is-inside/pull/5
